Theater Review: “A Queen for a Day”

Last night I had the pleasure of seeing a truly riveting play, “A Queen for a Day” at the Theater of St. Clement, located at 423 West 46th Street in New York City.

The four person cast of David Proval, Portia, David Deblinger and Vincent Pastore all were superb. Richard O’Brien also appears in a minor role .

Proval’s performance was mesmerizing. Playing an organized crime figure with a complicated past, he was on stage throughout the 90 minute show and did some of the finest acting I have seen in “many a moon.”

He and his fellow cast member Vincent Pastore are best known for roles as organized crime members on the superb HBO show, “The Sopranos.”

Proval played “Richie Aprile” and Pastore was a character known as “Big Pussy.”

Portia also really stood out in her interesting, mysterious role. The excellent performances of the entire cast makes “A Queen for a Day” a play I highly recommend.

“A Queen for a Day” is directed by John Gould Rubin and written by Michael Ricigliano Jr. It is an exciting and thoroughly enjoyable production.
